For our next meetup we have the pleasure of Laszlo Sragner speaking about the important topic of code quality.

The location is the Flash office at Black River park. You can park inside and get your parking ticket validated at the meetup. Come any time from 5:30 for drinks and snacks and meeting some other data people.

Code Quality for Data Scientists

Software engineering principles are frequently mentioned as a solution to data science's productivity problem. Unfortunately, rarely in a comprehensive format to be actionable or adopted for data-intensive use.

In this talk, Laszlo will present a framework that enables practitioners to structure their projects and manage changes throughout the product lifecycle at low effort.

The audience will also learn about a minimum set of programming concepts to make this a reality.

The key takeaway for any Data Scientist is that you don't need to be a master programmer to start taking care of your own codebase.
